Ebenezer - A Memorial of the Deliverance of Essex
by John Owen
Two thanksgiving sermons preached in 1648 at the close of the Second English Civil War, expounding Habakkuk 3:1-10 as a lens for understanding God's recent deliverance of Essex from Royalist siege. Owen draws systematic parallels between Israel's wilderness deliverances and the fall of Colchester, arguing that God's faithfulness to his covenant promises stands behind all providential mercies. Rich in practical application, each observation from the ancient text is pressed home to encourage faith, thankfulness, and dependence on God's sovereign power.
